The wrong time, the wrong place, the wrong cause...... In fact, Kuroshima Ren didn't want to meet Yi Shui in the current situation, but he had no choice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'm Kazuo Kuroshima," he walked up to Yi Shui and bowed to him slightly, "First Secretary of the Imperial Japanese Consulate General in Hawaii." ”

Kazuo Kuroshima is a pseudonym used by Ren Kuroshima, but it makes no sense to Yi Shui, as he neither knows nor wants to know who this Japanese man standing in front of him is.

"Easy water." He returned a perfunctory salute, "Commander of the U.S. Marine Corps 'McBride Volunteer Infantry Regiment.'" ”

His tone and attitude undoubtedly annoyed Kuroshima. No one but the white man had the guts to speak to him like this—but Yi Shui wasn't white, he was just a hateful Qing man. However, when he thought about the Sino-Japanese War, which had ended only two months earlier, he felt that this attitude was quite natural.

Kuroshima's anger decreased slightly, but he was still unpleasant, so his tone became stiff as well. "Mr. Yi Shui, could you please tell me what is going on here, and why are your soldiers treating the expatriates of the Japanese Empire like this?"

"Actually, Mr. Kuroshima, I'd love to know what's going on here." Yi replied quietly.

When Kuroshima Ren appeared, he began to think about a question, if it was Qin Lang who was standing here now, how would he negotiate; His movements, his expression, his tone, and every word he might use, Yi Shui hoped to imitate Qin Lang to the greatest extent.

Because Qin Lang can solve things very well.

He hopes he can do the same.

Carefully choosing the words that should be used, Yi Shui looked at Thomas who was standing next to him. "Mr. Thomas, your troops were the first to arrive here and put an end to the riots, so what do you see?"

"Sir," Thomas replied with a military salute as he stood upright, leaning on his legs, "and we see more than thirty Japanese bandits with murder weapons besieging our naval soldiers, sir. ”

He did this on purpose, in order to increase Yi Shui's momentum. Harry•Thomas was not a dull man, and he knew that it was time to do everything in his power to help his boss gain an overwhelming advantage over Kuroshima - not only because it was about American honor, but more importantly because it was tied to his income and future.

Yi Shui was very satisfied with his performance. He nodded, turning his head to give Kuroshima a smile. "Mr. Kuroshima, do you have any questions about this?"

"Nope." It is stupid to deny or quibble, the cause, process and result of the incident are obvious, and nonsense will only make the Americans grasp the handle.

But that doesn't mean Kuroshima won't fight back. "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, that being said, I think your soldiers have clearly missed some details."

"Details?"

"The cause of this tragic incident, as far as I know, is that the soldiers of your navy molested our women and beat our nationals in the streets." Mr. Kuroshima said, pointing at the Japanese ronin, who had become impatient because of his presence, "They are attacking your navy out of righteous indignation." ”

It's still a fact, and Yi Shui can't deny it either—but he does. "I doubt it."

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel? Do you think I'm making up stories? Kuroshima Ren began to get angry again. After all, he is still a little younger, and he is not so easy to control his emotions.

Of course, Yi Shui is also very young and has a hard time controlling his emotions, but he is trying to imitate Qin Lang, so he can make himself look more experienced and calm than Kuroshima Ren, and at the same time more aggressive and strategic.

"Mr. Kuroshima, I admit that there have been some misdeeds on the part of our Navy soldiers." Yi Pingjing said, one step back, two more steps, this is the strategy he is employing, "But please note that your citizens have used offensive weapons. So I think their actions are not just motivated by righteous indignation. ”

After a pause, he continued: "I believe that this was an organized attack against American servicemen, a concrete manifestation of Japan's hostility towards the United States, and a serious political incident. ”

Thomas was completely stunned. He never imagined that an ordinary street brawl could turn into a serious political incident so quickly. "Organized attacks against U.S. service members" ...... Oh, God! The squad commander almost crossed his chest.

Hitoshi Kuroshima was stunned for a moment. Raising such a trivial nuisance to the level of "a concrete manifestation of Japan's hostility towards the United States", at first he thought Yi Shui was crazy, but soon he realized that Yi Shui did it on purpose.

He wanted revenge; Although he could not provoke a war between the United States and Japan, and could not even get any substantial benefits, he could still enjoy the pleasure of revenge. Hitoshi Kuroshima thinks he knows a lot about people like Yi Shui. They are incapable of reversing the humiliation suffered by the country, so they have to satisfy their distorted revenge in some inexplicable way.

However, Kuroshima Ren didn't really understand Yi Shui, so it was impossible to make an accurate judgment. Although to some extent, Yi Shui did want to take revenge on Japan, the decisive factor was that he was imitating Qin Lang.

Qin Lang will definitely do this, but not out of simple revenge, but because doing so can give him an absolute advantage in negotiations, and then he can use this advantage to gain some advantages for himself - the support of his subordinates, the recognition of his colleagues, the commendation of his superiors, and the consequent right to speak in the expeditionary force.

Of course, things may not be as simple and easy as they are, but in any case, it is always beneficial to present yourself as a staunch defender of American interests.

So Qin Lang will definitely do this.

Yi Shui came back to his senses. He thought about it so much, and time had only passed for a short time, so when he started again, Kuroshima Ren felt like he barely stopped. "Mr. Kuroshima, I ask the Japanese Government to seriously investigate and deal with this heinous attack, severely punish all those responsible, "Yi Shui pressed forward," and pay all the medical expenses of the wounded soldiers. ”

He is still not Qin Lang; If it was Qin Lang, he would definitely have more requirements. But even so, Kuroshima still felt unacceptable.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I think your accusations are unfounded," he countered, "and there is no evidence that this was a premeditated, organized attack against your country's military personnel." ”

"If this was not a premeditated operation, then why are all the citizens of your country who took part in the attack on our naval soldiers armed with assault weapons?" Yi Shui's lips furrowed, squeezing out a sneer, "Mr. Kuroshima, can you provide a logical explanation?" ”

Kuroshima felt an increasingly intense tingle. Once again, he felt that he had made a wrong deal with the wrong opponent at the wrong time, in the wrong place, for the wrong reason. At the same time, he secretly cursed the stupid ronin, if it weren't for the short knives they carried all day, he wouldn't be in the predicament he is in now.

But he had to do his best for them...... More precisely, to exonerate Japan. "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I admit that my nationals have illegally carried weapons, and I apologize for the harm they have caused to your soldiers." Kuroshima bowed, "But that still doesn't mean that their attack was premeditated and organized. ”

One step back, two steps forward, this kind of game you will and I will too.

However, Kuroshima had in fact taken several steps back - and now he could neither hold the American sailors at fault nor the cause of death of the only person who died in the incident. But Yi Shui was still not satisfied. "So I think these people should be handed over to the judiciary for a detailed investigation."

"Now, then, please hand them over to me. The Imperial Government of Japan will conduct a serious investigation and give your country a satisfactory answer. ”

"Nope. In view of the complexity of the case, and in order to prevent acts of favoritism and cover-up, I believe that the investigation and trial of the case cannot be conducted unilaterally by your country. Yi Shui made his request, "There should be a joint investigation team formed by the United States, Japan, and the Hawaiian government." ”

Kuroshima quickly calculated. This demand is still unfavorable to Japan, and although the final result will inevitably prove that Yi Shui's accusations are purely unfounded speculation, this incident was originally provoked by American sailors, and Japan is the party that suffers -- and there are also dead -- and if time is wasted on a joint investigation under US pressure, Japan's international prestige will undoubtedly be dealt a serious blow.

And U.S. ambitions for Hawaii are also a question that must be guarded against. If Washington had received the news and used the pretext of protecting American expatriates from Japanese attacks to persuade Congress to approve the sending of large numbers of troops to Hawaii, Japan would have suffered even greater losses.

The matter should be resolved immediately and the matter should be confined to ordinary criminal cases rather than political issues.

However, how should this be done? Kuroshima Ren felt a great headache. Yi Shui's approach may be due to his revenge on Japan, but it is undoubtedly in the interests of the United States. Therefore, the matter could never be properly resolved without convincing Yi Shui to drop his inappropriate accusations before the U.S. government got involved.

But how can you convince Yi Shui? Convince a Qing man who has a strong sense of revenge against Japan...... Is this possible?

We're in big trouble. Kuroshima said to himself.
